Sent to your email. I am a little nervous about posting them somewhere public. I'd appreciate advice on this topic.

Thanks; it's interesting so far. (The SAT and ACT series seem to, if anything, contradict the thesis - everything but math scores have stagnated or actually fallen.)

As far as posting goes publicly, I host a lot of PDFs (for the DNB FAQ, mostly), and lukeprog (one of his selling points) hosts what must be hundreds* of PDFs so far. Neither of us has had any trouble so far, and in one case, The Notenki Memoirs, I believe the publisher has even been contacted by someone wanting to turn my ebook** into a legitimate one - no takedowns so far (somewhat to my surprise).

* My local mirror of commonsenseatheism.com lists 573 PDFs

** I not merely host TNM, but I made the ebook single-handedly from my scans

Thanks! maybe I will host on a dropbox account publicly.
